"mistralai/mistral-7b-instruct:free" appears to be routing to the paid version?

Hello everyone!
I am very new to using API with AI, so please forgive my noobiness. I'm very eager to learn! 😄

I noticed that when I connect my code to the model "meta-llama/llama-3-8b-instruct:free" the AI will answer and talk with me, but when I connect to model "mistralai/mistral-7b-instruct:free", the OpenRouter system tells me I do not have enough tokens.

The actual response is: [SERVER MESSAGE] {"error":{"message":"max_tokens limit exceeded: 25594 > 1659. To increase, visit https://openrouter.ai/credits and upgrade to a paid account","code":402}}

So I went to the OpenRouter website (https://openrouter.ai/activity) it looks like the system tried to charge me for that single message from MistralAI/Free.

Did I set something up wrong?

Hey @grave sparrow - can you share your entire request body? (you can omit the prompt/messages as needed)

The mistralai/mistral-7b-instruct:free slug looks correct to me, which should point you to the free variant
